Lyon by Washburn electric guitar
I bought a cheap but good deal electric guitar, Lyon by Washburn. Black, nicely finished and very neat. There’s no pickguard and the dots on the fretboard is on the top and kind of invisible because it’s so small. The guitar itself looks like Washburn OX11 …
Michael Buble’s Home Single
I just love the nostalgic sound that the song Home makes, and the sweet croon that blends with it. It is, to say the least, an amazing composition, an original that beats with the times. Home is like a good book, the first time I read it, …

Sledding With Tigers - Going To Georgia (Song)
Going To Georgia is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the penultimate track on their second release, The Hill Sheep. Before I begin, I should add that this is a cover of a band called Mountain Goats, so I unfortunately cannot comment too much on the songwriting …

Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk
Harder Better Faster Stronger is one of my favorite songs, with very catchy lyrics, and very simple beats. I love how Daft Punk uses a talk box along with their electric guitar to make the robot voices. Whenever I listen to this song, I just felt like the music …
Daughtry- Leave This Town (Album)
Daughtry has come such a long way from his first appearance on American Idol years ago, and this album definitely shows how far hes come. Overall its a great album with not one song i dislike. Thats how you know an albums good, when you can listen through …

Islands in the stream is a duet song performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon. Their voices in this song just seem to belong together because they do such a great job together. This song talks about nature working together hand in hand in a perfect harmony. It …

“Brokenheartsville” is a song by country music artist Joe Nichols. Joe Nichols has been active on the music scene for over 10 years now and has had such hits as “I Will Wait For You” and “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall off” However, in my opinion, this song stands …
Animal Collective - Essplode (Song)
Essplode is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second album, Danse Manatee. Opening up with a more traditional sound, I’m somewhat reassured by this and hope that the band doesn’t push the song to a dissonant extreme as they’ve done already with two tracks on the …
Darius Rucker
This guy is awesome. If you don’t remember, he’s the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish. He came out with a country album and it’s amazing, simply amazing. His voice is so on the money; it’s unique and beautiful and rich. I really and truly do not like country …
Laskar Pelangi Nidji
There is no doubt that Nidji is one of the most Famous bands in Indonesia and I believe, regarding that, Mira Lesmana (Producer of Laskar Pelangi) chose them to contribute one song for Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Army), a movie based on best-seller book by Andrea Hirata about teachers who …
Jordin Sparks
Jordin SParks is one of the more recent popular singers who I find myself actually liking, which is strange since I don’t usually like much of modern popular music. I think there might be several reasons for this too as I think that she is one of the few …

Weezer - No One Else (Song)
No One Else is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The Blue Album. Opening up with a fast guitar riff, Rivers Cuomo comes in with the vocal melody nearly immediately and I must say that if this is your first time …
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Song)
With Teeth is the title track of an album by Nine Inch Nails. With Teeth opens up with some brief noise before leading to a drum rhythm which sound somewhat awkward and then a synthesizer being played over this and finally a distorted guitar playing a bit of a …
Ten Years After, I’m Going Home, music
Ten Years After, I’m Coming Home, released in 1996, compilation.
A band that defintelt stands the test of time is Ten Years After. Alvin Lee and company could really belt out the jams. It’s sad that a lot of teenagers into heavier music today don’t realize how important the …
Osmonds: The Plan CD
The Osmonds: The Plan CD is a very special compilation. Actually, compilation isn’t the right word. This project was a labor of both love and inspiration, written by the Osmonds and which musically told their religious beliefs. It’s tender and rock both and takes listeners on …
Bob Dylan - Early Mornin’ Rain (Song)
Early Mornin’ Rain is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Self Portrait. The song starts off with a very lighthearted feel as most of the instruments all come in at once and a harmonica takes the lead spot for the intro of this track. …
Baduizm by Erykah Badu
Looking at the CD cover of Baduizm by Erykah Badu, I am totally amazed. There is no close singer like Erykah Badu and I think her image is totally unique and very original. She is unpretentious and there are just so many good things about this CD album.
To …
Fender Squire Strat Electric Guitar
Every musician needs the proper equipment. If you happen to be a guitarist, I am sure that you have searched the internet and different stores coming across thousands of different guitars. Every musician has his or her personal preference of guitar brand, but it does’nt hurt to have another …
HoneyHoney - alternative rock
I was really impressed with this two-man band - or should I say, the one man, one woman band. HoneyHoney is comprised of two members and two members only (with the exception of an additional musician or so on stage i.e. a drummer). For some reason, usually …
Toby Mac’s “City on Our Knees” Song
The first time I heard the song “City on Our Knees” by Toby Mac it was on the ending scenes from the movie “Grace Card”. Not only does the song bring to light some deep emotions that everyone feels when listening to a song that is meaningful to them, …
Vampire Weekend : Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend, a new, up-and-coming Indie-Rock band has swept the nation with its “soft-rock.” Its latest album titled Mansard Roof is, in my opinion, excellent. Certain songs, (Campus, Walcott) are slightly repetitive, but offer great sound. All songs were recorded in very high quality. The band offers high-quality, good …

CD Creed Human Clay
Human Clay is Creed’s second CD. I bought this CD over three years ago and I still listen to it frequently. The music gradually shifts from calm, slow guitar and vocals to loud, yelling, hard rock- this makes the music more exciting than my other CDs which …
Anberlin
I first discovered Anberlin about three years ago when I went to visit my family in Wisconsin. I remember being in an F.Y.E. store in one of the local malls and seeing a white album with a statue’s head on it and there were blue flowers growing out of that …
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
This is the second album of Fall Out Boy that I’ve heard. It’s really good, but for some reason I love the first one (From Under the Cork tree) better. I was watching (guess what…) MTV (again! Is anyone seeing a pattern here?) and I saw the music video …
My Life Mary J.Blige
I really respect Mary J.Blige as a singer cum songwriter, as she has certainly come a long way from bankruptcy, and now, writing songs for this album.
When I first heard her voice before way I knew who she was, I had already been captured by her smooth sailing voice, …
Silverchair the band
Silverchair is a crappy band and they have always been a crappy band and too start things off the way the lead singer sounds is horrible. He has always had a very annoying voice and it sounded scratchy in m opinion and he never sounded good whether it was …
Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album
Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album was given to me by a friend. I was actually surprised when she first told me over phone that she would give me this Kris’ album because I know this girl could not sing. She maybe a very good host and indeed an …
The Flaming Lips - Chrome Plated Suicide (Song)
Chrome Plated Suicide is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their third album, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with some guitar feedback, the band surprisingly introduces a clean guitar pattern to the track which gives the song a very melodic feel which surprisingly works well with the …
Song : I Got U by Leona Lewis
I was amazed when I first heard Leona Lewis sing on The X Factor. With a voice that recalls early Mariah Carey, any time Celine Dion and a tone so pure you almost wonder if your dream she blew me away. While her first album was overall …
OK Go on Treadmills
So we’ve all seen plenty of music videos that switch between shots of the band rocking in the background and a dramatic scene played by a couple of actors. But never before have I seen something so entirely original that I just sit back and think, “What a great …
Strangers On A Train- David Nail (Single)
For the past couple of months David Nail has been helping me past some really difficult things in my life. This includes accepting change.

Green Day - Good Riddance/Time Of Your Life (Song)
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) is a track by Green Day which is extremely well known just because of how many times it’s been played on the radio or featured in various television spots, most notably the finale of Seinfeld. Now sometimes when a track is extremely well …
Metallica - The Unforgiven II (Music Video)
Overview —“ The Unforgiven II, Metallica’s second part of The Unforgiven trilogy, continues on in the same dark approach and atmosphere that The Unforgiven introduced. The Unforgiven II continues with the story of the same child who was in The Unforgiven I but it takes place in between the …
Mono-Karelia (Opus 2)
Mono is a post-rock band from Japan that has amazed the fans of Mogwai Godspeed You! Black Emperor etc with their powerful mixture of guitar cascades and symphonic soundscape beauty. Karelia begins in the lowest possible tempo, but rises slowly to a ravaging sound, not the tiniest bit angry, …

The second edition of the debut album from Tokio Hotel. I bought this album around October of last year after hearing them on a television channel called IMF which has recently gone out of business. I fell in love with the lead singers voice despite the fact …
Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong - Single
Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …
Animal Collective - Bat You’ll Fly (Song)

In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
I recently have been listening to the song Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. The song off their album Physical Graffiti, is one of the best on the album or even one of their best period. The song is known for its time length clocking in about eight minutes. The …
Ready to Die- Notorious B.I.G.
During the fall of 1994, I remember hearing Juicy by the Notorious B.I.G. on the radio and I found the song to be very catch especially the hook that was being sung by up and coming R&B trio Total. As a result, I was very intrigued and decided to …
Let Go Album of Avril Lavigne in Napanee, Ontario
Of all the music albums completed by worldwide singing sensation Avril Lavigne, the Let Go album should be easily her best in my opinion. But this is not to say the lightning never strikes twice!
On the contrary, the Lavigne album that followed it, was a smash hit as …
